Boulder, Colo. (October 23, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Hestra, the renowned Swedish glove brand celebrated for its commitment to quality, performance, and timeless design, is proud to announce the opening of its first North American retail store on Boulder’s iconic Pearl Street Mall. Founded in 1936 in the small village of Hestra, Sweden, the family-owned company has spent nearly a century perfecting the art of glove making.

At the new US flagship store, guests can explore Hestra’s full expression of craftsmanship. From the brand’s celebrated outdoor performance gloves for skiing, cycling, and mountaineering, to its elevated dress collection made meticulously with carefully sourced materials and precise finishes.

“Opening on Pearl Street lets us connect directly with the community and tell the Hestra story – one of craftsmanship and innovation – with people who share our passion for quality and the outdoors,” said James Hampton, President of Hestra North America. “This store is more than a retail space. It’s a place to experience our heritage, learn about glove making, and discover the perfect pair for life’s pursuits, making memories in the mountains and beyond.”

Hestra’s new store is located at 1126 Pearl Street, and officially opens to the public on Saturday, November 1 from 10 am to 7 pm. This is Hestra’s first standalone retail store in North America, reflecting the brand’s expanding footprint across the region. The store will be open Monday – Friday from 11 am to 7 pm, Saturday 10 am to 7 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. Hestra’s North American headquarters is also based in nearby Arvada, Colorado.
